Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are these programs a part of a degree program, or can you register for them independently and individually?
You may enroll as a non-degree seeking student at PSU and sign up for the courses independently so long as you meet the prerequisites. Information on how to enroll as non-degree seeking student can be found here.
Our Westside courses are designed to enable degree-seeking students to complete their degree requirements. Our MS program is organized by tracks that support areas of specialization. Currently, our Westside program supports three of our MS Tracks
- Digital IC Design, Test, and Validation
- Computer Architecture and Design
- Embedded Systems
As the program grows and gets better established we may support additional tracks.
Can these classes be used for credits in a future PSU PhD program?
Yes. The classes we offer on the Westside are equivalent to those offered on campus and can be used in the same way to satisfy PhD program requirements.
